ARpiCADE 3.82 Release!

[cool_factor]

Just an update: It does do it in AttractMan theme as well (v3.82 of Arpicade). I tried the older 3.72 version and its fine on resolutions. Im guessing its a setting.

Give this playstation.sh a go:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=16wpll ... 3VjlysoT7L

hopfully it will fix up the issue.

Thanks for the new file to try, unfortunately it is still doing it. I double confirmed that with the older 3.72 version that PS games launch fine. With the new version of 3.82 it does not.

Side note: Those audio settings you posted earlier seem to be working, Q-Bert has stopped popping and Galaga seems better also. Havent tested others.

Must be the retroarch config for the playstation emulator then. You can edit it in the retroarch menus or try this copy of the file /home/pi/.config/retroarch/pcsx_rearmed.cfg

THANKS! That worked!

[kevlo9]

Just downloaded and installed 3.82 in my Sega Astro City (running Pi3B+). Everything seems to be working fine, but none of the video previews are working? Any ideas?

And thanks for the 3.82 update!

Vertical games are shrink on an horizontal monitor with advmame

my settings on config.txt are
# Boot and menus in 240p (all games in 240p/256p/288p)
hdmi_mode=8

Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks
